Anna Trench welcomes a 30th anniversary edition for Sue Townsend's enduring comic creation<p>&quot;Perhaps when I am famous and my diary is discovered people will understand the torment of being a 13&frac34; -year-old undiscovered intellectual,&quot; writes Adrian Mole on Sunday 25 January, third after Epiphany.</p><p>From the confines of his parents' semi in a Leicester cul-de-sac, Adrian records his artistic crises and his battles with depression, the slow growth of his &quot;thing&quot; and the funny feelings he gets when he thinks about the wobbling chest of the love of his life, Pandora. In the 30 years since the book was first published, millions have discovered – and recognised – the torment felt by Townsend's great comic creation.</p> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jan/15/adrian-mole-townsend-classic-review">Continue reading...</a>Sue TownsendClassicsTeen booksChildren and teenagersBooksCultureSun, 15 Jan 2012 00:05:04 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/books/2012/jan/15/adrian-mole-townsend-classic-reviewFremantleMedia Ltd/Rex Features/FremantleMedia Ltd/Rex FeaturesGian Sammarco as the eponymous 'undiscovered intellectual' in Thames TV's The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole.
